Vipotnik Scores Crucial Equaliser for Slovenia and Becomes the Best UK Striker 😉

Not surprising that a guy commenting for an American 'soccer' channel completely mangled his name.

Interestingly its actually somewhere in between how I was pronouncing it and how the commentator pronounced it

People continually overlook the importance of confidence to a strikers game.

Vipotnik upped sticks to another country at a relatively young age after effectively losing his job, then spent the first two thirds of the season playing for a moron who had no idea how to use him. Despite this he scored more goals from the centre forward position than anyone else we tried there.

He seems to be in a better place at the moment which is being reflected on the pitch.

Even more than that, he had only recently moved to Bordeaux before essentially being made redundant 10 months later and subsequently having to move abroad AGAIN to find work in another new country after that.

Then is the aforementioned time spent playing for a moron

That's four goals in four appearances now for club and country including two equalizers, one winner and one goal taking the lead. So none of them are "nothing goals"

Don't forget his amazing assist against Wednesday .

Listening to this makes me realize just how badly we have been mispronouncing his name (and Swans TV too for that matter)

Zan Vipotnik = Jan Viptoonick

I believe it is Zhan Vee-pot-nick, with the surname given equal (and quite short) weight to all three syllables (unlike, say, the way Italians often put emphasis on the penultimate syllable in a word)

Well done Zan boy. Proper striker!
